Helicopter batteries are constructed in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate the available space within the airframe. Commonly used types include Lead-Acid, Nickel Cadmium (NiCad), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Ion (Li-ion). Lead-acid batteries are the most popular choice for helicopters due to their low cost and reliable performance. However, NiCad and NiMH offer higher energy densities and can be recharged faster than lead-acid batteries. Li-ion technology is becoming increasingly popular as it offers excellent power output while being significantly lighter in weight than other technologies.
Choosing the right battery for your helicopter is essential when it comes to safety and performance. Always read the manufacturer’s recommendations before selecting a battery and make sure you understand all of the specifications, such as voltage, amperage, size and weight. It is also important that the aircraft maintenance manual be consulted for any specific requirements before using a new battery.
